Untar the vmware-server tarball that you have already download from vmware's site:

~# tar xvf VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.tar.gz

We proceed to perform the installation:

~# cd /tmp/vmware-server-distrib/
~# ./vmware-install.pl

When the process arrives to the modules compilation step, we see the same error that happens in all the last ubuntu releases:

running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
